Oliver Brookes Signs

24th October 2017

Widnes Vikings are delighted to announce the signing of eleven young players into the Club’s Academy. With ten of these talented young players graduating from the Vikings’ Scholarship programme, this is the latest success for the Club’s youth system, which is rated as Outstanding by the RFL.

The Vikings Media Team are taking a closer look at each player, and today it is the turn of Oliver Brookes.

Ryan O’Brien, Youth Performance Manager at Widnes Vikings, said: “Olly is a versatile and athletically gifted player with an outstanding running game. He has impressed for our U16s this year with his ability to compete for kicks, finish opportunities and deal with 1v1 defensive situations.

"He needs to continue to work hard in the Academy over the coming years in order to develop his game further and fulfill his potential."

Take a look at Oliver’s highlights from 2017 above.
